Auschwitz was full of horrible pain & suffering documented in the accounts of survivors. Inventing a fake game of human chess for is not only dangerous foolishness & caricature. It also welcomes future deniers. We honor the victims by preserving factual accuracy.

Agree about the point. Nevertheless a movie can modify reality as it is a movie! In my opinion, after i watched the first premiere in tv with my son, i feel that the series will increase interest about #Holocaust and all #Jews persecution.

In other words, you say: "a movie can lie about reality as it is just a movie'. Here we absolutely disagree. This is disrespectful and dangerous.

With all do respect my mother survived Auschwitch for two years, the #huntersonprime tv show is not a documentary , satire is tricky, it is probably doing more to raise Holocaust awareness then anything since Schindler’s List. It’s a work of genius and should be applauded.

Auschwitz was a real place where people suffered. It would be much better if the authors of the movie tried to raise awareness of a true event of the Holocausts by showing something closer to the truth rather than choosing to create a fake story that never happened in Auschwitz.

+ inventing further horrors to the already documented depravities verges on perverse consumerism. Going shopping for images of trauma and adding your own spin to it is grotesque, aside of being deeply disrespectful. It speaks to a crass, unfeeling mind.

Agreed! 100% The show is very flip and disrespectful about one of the darkest, saddest, grimmest, and most barbaric events in history

Why can't we make one of the darkest chapters in human history into fun, escapist fantasy? Wouldn't Schindler's List have been better if it tried to be more like The Prisoner?

The show is not a documentary and doesn't pretend to be anything other than a fictional story; so I'm not sure I agree here.

As a Jewish chessplayer I was horrified by this scene. Thanks for this tweet.
here’s a thread about an actual chess champion who survived Auschwitz, was just 25 kilo when she got out and is now 91 years old 👑
